The PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible (Powerscore Test Preparation) 2021st Edition

Luckily for me, it only took me one prep book to wise up and switch to PowerScore. The little I gleamed from Kaplan, PS also taught but in a much clearer fashion and also expanded my knowledge of it. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to boost their score in Logic Games or just to get a higher LSAT score!I'll compare my crappy Kaplan prep book to it:-Both gave terms. Kaplan's was a one sentence definition while PS gave the textbook definition, then explained it, then made sure to give examples and later on summarized it..-Kaplan threw all the terms at you at once and then spent half the book testing you on them. Kaplan gave you one or two terms at a time and gave you practice before moving on to the next few. They said you didn't need to know certain terms but would have a better understanding of logic games if you did.-Kaplan basically gave you a formula and told you to follow it with no explanation and no other choice - it was their way or no way. PS also gave you the same formula but broke it down, step by step, to let you see the logic behind it. Didn't have a strict formula but let you actually think through it quickly and with confidence. It also told you to do what felt comfortablest for you and suggested the easiest ones. They also give you examples of common WRONG or time consuming ways to approach a problem and explained why it would be better not to do them.-Both gave you explanations for wrong answers. Kaplan's would say something like "out of scope" while PS's would explain why.Another few things I loved:-BIG FONT. It made reading go by quickly and easily and I didn't have to squint to read.-Side notes that either summarize or add more info about a paragraph- They teach you something new, give examples, test you, and then teach you something new until you reach the end of a section and are given several problems (I was able to answer under 8 min and 45 secs for each one!)-The answer sections go step by step for building a master plan, so you can check every step and see where exactly you messed up-It has humor, y'all!Overall: this is the book you want. I loved studying this book and actually looked forward to trying my hand at practicing the logic games. Don't be turned off by the price, it's worth its weight in LSAT scores.

I'm up to Chapter 5 but so far I find this book well-organized and thorough. I think that by going through this book diligently without skipping anything, one can't help but do much better on logic games if you've never done this kind of thing before, as I have not. I really like that there is a listing at the back of the book of which LSAT tests the book pulls its exercises, so I know which of the available LSAT tests are pristine.I have not studied anything concerning logic before, so this is all new to me. The diagramming methods make sense, although when they started to get kind of complicated I came up with my own notation. And I thnk I'm doing pretty well with the inferences, too. I plan to get the PowerScore book on Logical Reasoning next.The pages are matte, not glossy, which I really appreciate, and the pages are laid out with good use of white space and a comfortable font size. I'm not writing in my copy of the book; instead, I purchased a cheap steno-type pad that I do the exercises in. Sometimes I have to rediagram a game, so it's helpful to start on a clean page and not be distracted by what I did before. For anyone who will work directly in the book I would recommend taking it to a place like Fedex Kinkos and having the binding shaved off. That's what I usually do with practice test books; it makes them easier to use and is also good for photocopying pages. And it would be easier to carry just a chapter or a few pages around and not the entire book if you are on the go.I don't have anything to compare the methods of this book to, and I opted for this book over a highly recommended online program primarily because of my scheduling constraints, and I didn't want to deal with having to work through a certain amount of material by the time my subscription would expire. That model probably makes sense for many people, just not me. But so far I am pleased with how much I have learned, and I am really enjoying the studying, too. I find that these puzzles are a lot of fun. Hard!!! but fun.

I took a $1000 course (offered free from my undergrad) from the Princeton Review and I burned through it in a month. That gave me a BASE - but it was NOT substantial. Its for rookies and something that would get me a 155 on the LSAT. I knew I still had a long way to go and I was stressing the f*** out.This book brought me from being frustrated to being confident in a matter of a month.I was cautiously sketpical and they changed my stress into excitement. Thank you Jon, Dave, and the rest of the team. You guys changed the outcome of my future.PowerScore is simply the best. Their website has every single explanation for every single past question. You can setup a username real quick and instantly be chatting with them about something you don't understand - for free. It is BY FAR the best choice. Princeton Review was "corporate", these guys are personable, professional, and ***this is crazy*** they actually care.ALSO - I came to the rude awakening that you need to study for at least 3 months if you plan on getting a decent score. Law schools weigh the majority of their decision on the LSAT.-Your 4.0 GPA is more of a box you check (it could be inflated if you went to Brandman Online vs Harvard).-Your softs and diversity can make a difference, but you better have one heck of an honest story and clear vision of who you are and your humble place in the world-LSAT is the decider. This book turns you into a Spartan. You have to get into that mindset and they reinforced it.
